Yetzirah Featured Poet: Jane Muschenetz

“When you have nothing left to plant, become the seed.”

 

Congratulations to Ukrainian-born, Russian-speaking Jew, Jane (Yevgenia!) Muschenetz, who was granted asylum in the US as a refugee from the USSR at 10 years old and whose first poetry chapbook is now available from Kelsay Books. In All the Bad Girls Wear Russian Accents, writes Ari Honarvar, Muschenetz has “tapped into the universal diasporic experience and given birth to a collection brimming with treasures.”  

 

A portion of the proceeds from the sale of these books will be donated to organizations supporting Ukrainian refugees.
